A commutative monoid or domain is said to possess the MCD property if every non-empty finite subset admits a maximal common divisor (MCD). It is well known that monoids satisfying the ascending chain condition on principal ideals (ACCP) necessarily have the MCD property. Although atomicity does not, in general, ascend to polynomial domains, it does ascend when restricted to the class of MCD domains (Roitman, 1993). The behavior of atomicity with respect to power monoids parallels this phenomenon, and we will discuss this in more detail during the first part of the talk.
On the other hand, we say that a commutative monoid has the MCD-finite property if every non-empty finite subset admits only finitely many MCDs (up to associates). Similar to atomicity, the IDF property does not, in general, ascend to polynomial domains (Malcolmson-Okoh, 2009). Nevertheless, the IDF property does ascend to polynomial domains when restricted to the class of MCD-finite domains (Eftekhari-Khorsandi, 2018). In the second part of the talk, we will examine the ascent of the IDF property to power monoids.
